Abstract: Proteinaceous, lipid-containing particles can be prepared by co-expressing in a host cell (i) a self-assembling protein moiety in circumstances where the protein assembles to form a core, which then buds off from the host cell, thereby acquiring a lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane and (ii) a membrane-bound protein moiety, which becomes integrated in the lipid envelope. The particles have a wide variety of uses. They may be used as an antigen presentation system, or they may for example have site-specific targeting ability, fusogenic properties, enzymic activity, cytotoxic activity, diagnostic utility and/or pharmaceutical activity.

Abstract: A motor (10) comprises a stator (14) having an associated stator winding (24) formed of a conventional material such as copper, or of a superconductive material. A rotor (12) for the motor is also formed of a superconductive material. The rotor (12) is placed in a cryostat (16) and cooled from a first temperature which is above a critical level to a second temperature which is below the level. The stator (14) is placed in a second and separate cryostat (17) and the stator winding (24) is energized while the the rotor temperature is being lowered to below the critical level. Once the superconductive material of the rotor (12) has been cooled to a level below the critical level, the stator winding (24) is de-energized. Currents are now induced in the superconductive material of the rotor (12) to trap or maintain magnetic flux therein. Thereafter, the rotor (12) acts as a permanent magnet so long as it is maintained below the critical temperature.

Title: Atherectomy and angioplasty method and apparatus
Inventor: ZACCA NADIM M
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1992-07-15
Abstract: A device for treating obstructions in vessels or small openings in the body, comprising a rotatable ablator tip which is guided to the obstruction in a reduced diameter configuration, expanded and rotated to remove the obstruction, and contracted to remove the device from the body. The variably expandable abrasive tip coil in one embodiment is actuated by piston means within the coil. A pair of collars is attached to the ends of the coil, and the piston effects relative longitudinal axial movement of the collars and the respective ends of the coil tip. When the ends of the coil tip are so moved, expansion and contraction of the diameter of the coil tip results. In another embodiment, the expansion tip coil is actuated by an expandable and contractible bellows disposed within the coil. In another embodiment, the expansion and contraction of the coil tip are affected by longitudinal axial movement of an internal coil attached to one end of the coil tip, within an outer coil attached to its other end. In another embodiment, expansion and contraction of the coil tip are effected by an inflatable balloon disposed within the coil tip. The balloon expansion means enlarges preferably at the central portion of the coil to make a bulge. In alternative embodiments, there is provided a combined atherectomy and balloon angioplasty device employing either a fixed or variable diameter rotatable abrasive burr, and an angioplasty balloon disposed proximal to the burr.

Abstract: Système de commande hydraulique pour la rotation de l'arbre à cames (10) d'un moteur à combustion interne. La roue à chaîne (12) entraînée par le moteur à combustion interne est reliée à l'arbre à cames (10) par le biais d'un élément d'accouplement (19), d'une denture hélicoïdale (18) et d'une denture droite (21). Le déplacement de l'élément d'acouplement engendre une rotation relative entre la roue à chaîne (12) et l'arbre à cames (10). Le déplacement de l'élément d'accouplement s'opère par l'intermédiaire d'un piston hydraulique (25), actionné par une pompe à pistons axiaux (39, 40), logée dans le système de commande. Cette pompe à pistons axiaux aspire le liquide de pression dans un réservoir situé dans le moteur et l'achemine par des soupapes de sortie (47) dans les chambres de pression (29, 30) placées au niveau du piston (25). Une soupape-pilote de pression (70) que l'on peut actionner de manière électromagnétique est raccordée à l'une des chambres de pression (29). Cette soupape s'ouvre sous l'effet de l'actionnement approprié de l'électro-aimant (76), ce qui fait baisser la pression de la chambre de pression (29) au niveau du piston (25). La conception du système de commande représenté à la Figure 1 est très compacte.
